Default Help with OEM HID install, driver side not turning on

I'm trying to install a 2008 OEM HID on to my non hid 2007 GT. I purchased the full wiring kit from Tousley and followed the silver horse racing instructions using diodes.

The passenger side lights up and works as it should with high beams and all but no go on the driver side. I've tested all bulbs and ballast and they both work if I plug them on the passenger side.

I know all fuses and relays are good because if I put the original halogen wiring and plug it back to my original lights they you both light up.

It's difficult to understand from what you are explaining, can you verify that the wiring kit you purchased is getting enough power to the HID bulbs?

Basically if I plug the headlights onto the passenger side they work.

If I plug them to the driver side they don't work.

I'd say check your grounds, if the kit works on one side but not the other it's probably a wiring issue. Give that a try and let me know what happens.
